6. Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities
The Internet of Things (IoT) connects everyday objects to the Internet, enabling them to collect and exchange data. Smart cities integrate IoT technology on a larger scale, connecting transportation, utilities, and infrastructure to create more efficient urban environments.
How IoT and smart cities will impact your life:
- Smart homes: IoT allows you to control lighting, heating, and appliances remotely, improving energy efficiency and convenience.
- Optimized urban living: Smart cities can reduce traffic congestion, enhance public transportation, and improve resource management, creating a cleaner, more efficient environment.
- Healthcare monitoring: IoT enables remote health monitoring, allowing patients to receive real-time health updates and manage chronic conditions effectively.
